Add .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync
Please please please can you add a feature that allows folders to be excluded from the Dropbox account (on windows and mac). For sure I'm not the first person to request this, but I'm yet to find a g...
We use Dropbox for continuous backup of full stack and mobile applications. Adding new projects (or sub-projects to existing projects) is a common task. Having to do this with selective-sync for each team member does not scale well and wastes precious time.
Having a `.dropboxignore` file would be a game changer because it would allow new projects in our workspace to be added without lengthy synchronization of "node_modules" directories which can grow quite large as our applications scale. A `.dropboxignore` file could rest inside the route of our workspace and all projects created within the workspace directory would have all "node_modules" folders automatically ignored by Dropbox. The `.dropboxignore` file can also be shared easily with new team members so that they do not accidentally upload `node_modules` to Dropbox.
